Meal delivery services have become so commonplace these days, that you can order takeout from just about anywhere. Except when you have dietary restrictions- that is. There are no dedicated gluten free restaurants where I live, and I am not comfortable ordering over the phone where I cannot speak to staff face to face about their allergen protocols.
This post contains affiliate links.
So, to satisfy my craving for takeout, you will likely find me right here in the kitchen. Today I’m using my Dutch Oven to create this Asian Inspired Pulled Chicken, an absolutely amazing dish that rivals any restaurant! Served over fried rice, 100% gluten free.
ingredients:
- 2 boneless chicken breasts (about 1-¼ lbs.)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp. gluten free Hoisin sauce
- ½ tbsp. mirin (rice wine)
- ½ tsp. sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 bunch of scallions
- 1/4 tsp. powdered ginger
- 1 bunch of scallions
- cooking spray
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds
- 1 batch of Fried Rice (RECIPE) for serving
Preparation:
Mince the garlic and slice the scallions, reserving the green tops for garnish. Preheat the oven to 275º (no, that’s not a typo – 275º – we are cooking low and slow).
Coat a Dutch Oven with cooking spray and add the chicken breasts.
Whisk together the sauce ingredients, honey through powdered ginger.
Pour it over the chicken, cover and bake for 2-½ hours, turning halfway through.
While the chicken cooks, make the fried rice. I have a Basic Fried Rice recipe here that you can use with all your Asian inspired meals.
After 2-½ hours the chicken should be cooked through and very tender. Remove to a cutting board and shred it with 2 forks.
Return the chicken to the pot and stir well to coat with the remaining sauce. Keep warm while you finish the rice.
Spoon the chicken over the rice and garnish with the scallion greens and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes: ♪♫ No time to make fried rice? You can serve this over plain rice or with any sides you like!
Were you surprised to learn that soy sauce is not gluten free? I was! The soy is fermented in wheat, making it unsafe for those of us with Celiac disease. In this recipe I used San J brand gluten free Tamari in place of soy sauce. It is a great addition to any Asian inspired recipe and also great for marinades.

Preparation:
Cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than package directions. Drain and set aside.
Add the chicken medallions and cook 3 minutes per side. The chicken does not have to be cooked through at this point- it will finish cooking in the sauce. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
In the same pan, add the broth, lemon juice, and cream. Bring to a simmer then add in the cooked pasta and chicken.
Simmer for several more minutes, for the chicken and pasta to finish cooking.
Toss well and garnish with lemon slices. Serve it right in the pan for a casual meal or transfer to a pretty serving dish.
Notes ♪♫




















Coat a large sauté pan or nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium low heat. Scramble the egg, chop into small pieces and set aside.
Add 1 tbsp. olive oil and 1 tsp. sesame oil to the pan. Add the diced chicken and begin browning.
Turn to finish cooking through.
When the veggies are crisp tender add back the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth mixture, stirring and tossing to combine until the liquid thickens.
Notes ♪♫

Whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup (use
Spoon the mixture over the chicken and veggies, save a little to brush on near the end of cook time. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves on the chicken and drizzle olive oil over everything.
Bake for 45-50 minutes at 425º. During the last 15 minutes of baking, baste the chicken with the remaining Dijon mixture and sprinkle nuts over the veggies. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and chives. Bring it to the table just like that, no serving dishes needed!

The next morning, heat the canola oil in a deep skillet. Add the cornstarch and the rest of the seasoning mixture to a small bowl. When oil is very hot, use tongs to pick up one piece of chicken at a time and dredge in the cornstarch, shaking off the excess. Add to the hot oil and cook until browned on both sides and the internal temperature reaches 165º. If you’re not sure, use a thermometer.
To assemble, arrange the waffles on a serving dish in a single layer (if you made them the night before, pop them into the microwave for 1 minute to reheat). Top each waffle section with a piece of chicken and secure with a skewer or toothpick.
Wow, these little skewers were so tasty! The recipe was a bit of extra work, but I think everyone enjoyed them along with my usual brunch offerings. As I said before, it was all about trying something different. And would you believe, I myself had never had Chicken and Waffles before?
The preparation begins with a coating of cornstarch and egg. The wings are then quickly pan fried and drizzled with a sticky sweet syrup and baked in the oven. Yes, it is a bit labor intensive but oh my goodness! I could not stop eating them!
Whisk together the sugar, mirin, ketchup, tamari and chicken broth in a small saucepan. Add a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking frequently then cover and set aside.
Set up 2 breading trays, one with the cornstarch and the other with 2 beaten eggs. Heat a large nonstick skillet with enough canola oil to coat the surface completely.
Dredge the wings in the cornstarch, then dip in the beaten eggs. Add to the hot skillet, leaving space in between (fry them in batches if needed). Turn the wings to get a crust on all sides.

Mist a casserole dish with cooking spray. As the wings finish cooking, arrange them in a single layer. Preheat the oven to 350º.
Spoon the sauce evenly over the wings and bake for one hour, turning halfway through.
Serve hot, spooning a little of the pan juices over the wings.

I added all of the wine, stock, tomato paste and seasonings. Honestly, there was a bit too much liquid and I would cut back next time. Julia did not add carrots in her recipe, but I went rogue and put a few in. Lid on, time to simmer!


I transferred all of the liquid from the sauté pan into a stock pot and whisked in the beurre manié until it was smooth and silky.
I added the onions and mushrooms to the sauce, then poured it over the chicken, bringing to a simmer one last time before serving.
There it is. So many little steps to develop the flavor profile of this famous dish. Yes, it was delicious. Yes, I will take a few shortcuts next time, but I do intend to make this again.
When the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, turning once.

Continue cooking with the cover off, allowing the liquid to bubble up and thicken.
Chicken is finished when it reaches an internal temperature of 165º. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle some of the pan juices over the top.
